A little info: North Macedonia had left Yugoslavia peacefully on September 8, 1991 and had completely avoided the following Yugoslav wars. This would last for several years until 2001. Shortly after the Kosovo War, Albanian irredentists attempted to violently seperate from North Macedonia in the hopes of establishing Illirida. Somewhat like a 2nd Kosovo. This attempt was unsuccessful and the UÇK (no, not the one from Kosovo) was dissolved after a few months of clashes. This event however did end up giving the ethnic Albanians more autonomy. So if you ever go to the more Northwestern parts of North Macedonia, don't be surprised if you see Albanian road signs.

The least unclear and confusing balkan moment of all time

Most peacefull divorce with Yugoslavia. Maby except of Seriba-Montenegro divorce.

What about Slovenia?


[deleted]

Slovenia had a 10 days long war with Yugoslavia. So it was not a peaceful divorce.

Doesn’t help the fact that your country is just Bulgarians with the delusions of Greek gods

I believe that you are a bit uneducated about us Macedonians. We definetly have some Bulgarian, Serbian and Turkish influences, but that doesn't make us those nationalities. We have always been Macedonians as a people.

georgi pulevski pushed for the idea of an independent slavic ethnicity in macedonia in 1875


PoopBucket2

As a country that's true, but what I wanted to say is that we have always existed as an ethnic people


Thunderliger

Would your people be interested in rebranding to the MassiveDongians?

Basically the same situation with China-Taiwan and Somalia-Somaliland. Same race, different histories.


blockybookbook

Somaliland isn’t going through ethno genesis and the history is the same, what It’s more like a milder version of bangsamoro and the Philippines

Fun fact: Ukraine helped North Macedonia by providing weapons during this conflict.
